Lately, most of our evenings are spent making dinner together, playing with Karl, and then reading books before bed. We haven't watched "real" TV in months, except for the occasional PBS Create Channel that inspires us with various cooking shows. We have been so occupied with other interests that we are even considering doing without the television and internet at home. We'll of course, instead, get one of those fancy phones with wireless. Maybe they make a cell phone that is rotary? Probably not.
Karl is also enjoying our family time and as most of his electronic toys are car toys (placed specifically in a vehicle for maximum entertainment on long trips) he spends most of his time playing with blocks, balls, and books. He also loves this little toy I bought for $1.00 at a yard sale when I was pregnant.
Erik continues to garden like a crazy man and much to my chagrin the 'Topsy Turvy' is producing amazing results with our tomato plant. Our traditional potted & staked plant is falling behind in growth. 1- Erik 0- Claire. Erik gains another point because he has started making sourdough bread at home. Every day I am blessed to get a delicious smelling house and then I get to try the results. I'm sure he will post on this sometime soon. Erik also recently convinced me that we need to stop buy microwave popcorn because it's full of chemicals. We rarely indulge in popcorn any way so I wasn't too sad not to eat popcorn again. THEN! He informed me that we can still have popcorn, but we'll just have to pop our own with our brand new Air Popper! It's pretty awesome and the popcorn is perfect with just a dash of salt.
Needless to say, family time beats out all others. I hope you have found a life that makes you happy as well :)

This is excellent. Also, though I know you guys are trying to be all healthy and stuff, next time you use that air popper, I encourage you to sprinkle the corn with a little butter, some Parmesan cheese and a few dashes of Texas Pete. It's pretty awesome.
